Pro of adding -w to test runs:
	- that's how Test::Harness has always worked, and people might be relying 
on that behavior

Cons of adding -w to test runs:
	- you get warnings from dependencies (and their dependencies) because -w 
enables global action at a distance
	- using fatal warnings may cause your test suite to fail because of 
warnings in dependencies you don't directly control
